Im not really into aircraft but i had to comment on this one

Absolutely ..... FANTASTIC , the attention to detail is amazing and the preshading on the panels really makes this an amazing build

Well done

Hi Oishi!

I'm not that much a fan of jets but I have to say this model is excellent! The paintjob is very realistic in my opinion. This really looks like a contest winner!
Congratulations for a fantastic job!

Hi Oishi, I love it it's really well done and I know first hand as I have "played" with the real thing when doing harrier support. I've also flown one...................................well nearly, I've "flown" the simulator (it's a pity they don't include the Harrier in IL 2). It would be interesting, for those that haven't seen this kit, to show something for a size comparison, 'cos this thing is big.
Did you use any after market goodies? (are there any after market goodies for this kiy?) I guessing kit decals. About the only thing this kit doesn't have is the open auxillary air intake doors, around the intakes, shown open. The top 3/4 hang open, verying amounts, when the aircraft is at rest. Harrier aux doors
Very nice Oishi thanks for sharing.

Hi Oishi

That's a stunning looking Harrier with real 'Wow' factor. I built the GR1 many years ago so I know how big this kit is. I'd love to see it in the flesh, I would imagine it would really stop people in their tracks! Well done, a lovely model.

Wow Oishi…she is beautiful, love the effects of the paint job, something hard to achieve and yours is excellent, not over or under done. I always wanted to build this kit, how is the detail. Was the overall fit fair, and did you use any AM sets on it. Great job

I built this Harrier out-of-box , so no other details added. For the fitting , not so good , especially by the nose , I had to change it into GR.3 one which didn't fit so well . The most important is those revets always been vanished after sanding , that made me need to re-scribe it up . I painted it for 2 days , include weathering too .
Thank you very much for every comments!
I wish there'll be more comming up!

Hello Oishi,

Wonderful ! She is a beauty ! The result achieved is awesome !

I have just bought one and was considering dealing with the Spanish colors, but having a look at yours may make me change my mind !

Really perfect ! Congrats on a job very well done, especially built out of the box !

Cheers,

Richard

Bravo Oishi!
That has to be one of the best paint jobs I've seen since joining Armorama. Everything seems to be perfect. The blending, preshading, weathering....everything is beautiful. Even the canopy looks like real glass.
Great job!

Excellent work.
I love the way the pre-shading has come out. The decals look painted on.
Does this kit have the engine in, as i vaguely remember a large Harrier kit having the option of one with removable panels?
